Property in this Township, other than farmland and coal, is to be
assessed at a 33.33% median level of assessment, based on the fair cash
value of the property. You may check the accuracy of your assessment
by dividing your assessment by the median level of assessment. The
resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value
of your property, you may be over-assessed. If the resulting value is less
than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed.
You may appeal your assessment to the Board of Review.
If you believe your property’s fair cash value is incorrect or that the
equalized assessed valuation is not uniform with other comparable
properties in the same neighborhood, the following steps should be
taken:
